Chapter 14: The Conjuring

The world, the underworld, yin and yang are separated, walking the two worlds of yin and yang consumes the mind and body, Lao Wang has to rest for at least a month every time he walks the yin errand, Rao is like this, just a few years also made him like an old man, this night back and forth three times, has reached the point of running out of oil and lamp.

This mouthful of blood spit on the ground was a big pool, Lao Wang's bloodless face suddenly turned a little pale, and the person seemed to be a few years older, Lin Laoshi hurriedly stepped forward to help Lao Wang, and asked in shock: "Brother Wang, no...... You okay. ”

Lao Wang shook his head, his right hand trembled and reached into his arms, and took out a small paper bag, which contained a few black pills, which looked nothing unusual, but had a faint medicinal fragrance, Lao Wang took a pill, closed his eyes and recuperated, and then opened his eyes to become a lot more energetic.

"I'm fine, go see how your daughter-in-law is." Lao Wang stood up and squatted down beside Li, Li was paralyzed on the ground like mud, looking at Lao Wang and Lin Laoshi with both eyes, his whole body was scattered like a shelf, and he couldn't move, Lao Wang stuffed a pill into Li's mouth, and said to her: "Sister-in-law, the baby's life and soul are not far away, you have to help me find it back later, take the medicine, and call me when I feel better." ”

Li couldn't speak with the pill in his mouth, nodded, this medicine was extremely bitter in his mouth, and his whole mouth was bitter, but when this bitterness was small, he felt full of relish, and the pill turned into a clear stream down his throat, and Li's abdomen was warm, and a heat spread, warm and dry, and she felt that she had strength in her body.

Li stood up and walked to Lao Wang's side, and saw him fold a small lamp with white paper under the oil lamp, although the lamp was folded into white paper, it was exquisite, like the shape of a tower, it was very good-looking, Lao Wang's whole body was poured into the lamp, and the cinnabar was reconciled, and many twisted charms were drawn on the lamp, and a white paper lamp became exquisite in a blink of an eye.

Lao Wang took out a small piece of white candle, carefully put it into the paper lamp, lit it, sealed the lamp, and the light emitted a faint blue light through the paper lamp, not ordinary white light or dim red light, and this light at a glance, there is no warm feeling, on the contrary, there is a trace of cold.

"Sister-in-law, this is the soul lamp, you will hold the lamp and shout the soul later, and I will protect you the Dharma." Handing the lamp to Li, he took out two yellow talismans and pasted them on the shoulders on both sides of Li's paper clothes, and said in a low voice: "These two yellow talismans can suppress the yang fire on your shoulders, the baby's life and soul are weak, and this is also for fear that your yang energy will collide with his life and soul, so that the yin qi on your body will be heavy, no matter what you see later, don't care, there will be nothing to do with me, just call the soul." Also, the lights can't be extinguished, you have to remember. ”

After tossing for so long, it's just a soul? Li was a little disappointed, she is no stranger to calling the soul, the custom here is that if a child is frightened, he will eventually say that he will not be able to eat, sleep well, and be terrified, so that the soul will not possess the body, and at this time the soul must be called to collect the shock, so that the soul can return, and the disease and disaster will be eliminated.

The method is also simple, under the eaves, at the head of the bed or in a frightened place, burn a few sticks of incense and paper, swing the child's clothes back and forth above the flame, hold a kitchen knife or scissors in hand, slap on the ground, and then scatter the rice grains in all directions, and shout in the mouth: "Eastern rice grain, Western rice grain, southern rice grain, northern rice grain, four big and five square rice grains." A certain month and a certain child's name, childhood returns! Please go to the Nine Heavens Xuannu, pick up the boy Lang, and send back so-and-so! ”

Lao Wang's method was obviously different from what she knew, and she wanted to ask carefully, but when she thought about the magic power that Lao Wang revealed tonight, she felt that Lao Wang's method might be more effective, so she didn't ask more.

Lao Wang took out a black jade pendant from his neck, hung it on the palm of his hand with a chatter in his mouth, and after doing all this, Lin Laoshi, who was stupid, said to him: "Don't follow, just take care of the baby at home, and open the door now." ”

Lin Laoshi was anxious and didn't know what to do, when he heard the word open the door, he hurriedly ran to the door and opened the door, Lao Wang took a deep breath, lit a piece of yellow paper, threw it outside, and shouted: "Go!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the sky over the entire village suddenly darkened, and the night sky that was still light and cloudy just now became dim and dim, and the conjuring lamp in Li's hand was incomparably bright and dazzling.

"Sister-in-law, go out and shout souls." Lao Wang whispered to her behind Li.

Li Shi carried the soul lamp in her hand, only to feel that the lamp suddenly became a lot heavier, she was about to take a step, but she stopped, turned her head and asked Lao Wang: "What should I shout?" ”

"Call the baby's name."

"The baby is too young to have a name yet."

Lao Wang was stunned, cold sweat flowed down in an instant, and he forgot about this stubble after thousands of calculations, the name is a person's label, with a name can distinguish the difference between you and others, and it is also the only mark that follows your life, even if you die, this mark will still exist with the soul and will never disappear.

If it's not called right, it's not so easy to call back the lonely soul and wild ghost and want to leave, but now there is no other way, and it's obviously too late to give the baby a name. Lao Wang was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have time to think about it, it's late at dawn, sister-in-law, you just try to shout." ”

Li went out of the house cautiously, carrying the spirit lamp, and called softly: "Mother's heart is sharp...... Mother's heart is sharp, you are there......"

Li's voice was full of anxiety, distress, sadness, anticipation, all kinds of complex emotions mixed together, in this silent night spread far away, Lao Wang followed closely behind her, whispering an unknown spell in his mouth, the two went out of the courtyard, Li's voice became more distant, and in the deep night, I saw a few white shadows whistling, straight to the soul lamp.

The paper lamp was light and thin, and it was already swaying under the mountain wind, and the firelight inside was also swaying weakly, and Ben couldn't withstand the collision of these white shadows, Lao Wang had already prepared, and he saw it clearly, and rushed out to block Li's body, and slapped his right hand towards the white shadows, snapping...... With a few soft sounds, several white shadows were shot away by him, and the spirit lamp shook a few times, but finally it still stood still.

Li was so frightened by this change that he stopped, only to feel that the soul lamp in his hand suddenly became heavy, Lao Wang scattered a few white shadows, arched his hand to the surroundings, and said in a deep voice: "Creditors, I am here to find the soul of my baby, everyone give me Lao Wang a face, don't make trouble, I will definitely give you money to enjoy in the future, if you have to disturb, don't blame me for not giving face." ”

Lao Wang said a few words very angrily, the black stone carving in his hand shook around, and the remaining few white shadows suddenly retreated, for fear of being touched by this black jade pendant, Lao Wang snorted and said to Li: "Sister-in-law, you change your name and continue to go." ”

These white shadows roaring are some lonely souls and wild ghosts, no one to pay tribute after death, resentment, the most jealous, seeing that they have been dead for so many years, can not enter reincarnation, let alone worship, can not eat incense, now some people for their relatives to call the soul, jealousy, resentment, knowing that it is not their own name, but also to disturb the good things of other people's families.

Lao Wang's ferocity suppressed these lonely ghosts, but he was unwilling to leave, so he followed far away, Lao Wang didn't have time to spend with them, urging Li to continue to move forward, this time Li changed his shouting: "Mother's good son, where are you?" ……”

Li shouted anxiously, but there was still no trace of the baby, but the lonely souls and wild ghosts gathered more and more, and there was Lao Wang guarding with a bad spirit, and no one dared to approach, but he followed behind them, and from a distance, there were more than a dozen lonely souls and wild ghosts behind him.

In this way, in the night, two living people, followed by more than a dozen lonely ghosts, walked to the edge of the village, but they still did not find the child's soul, but the soul lamp in Li's hand became heavier and heavier, and almost a load of face sank, which also means that it will be dawn tomorrow.

"Go back, the baby's soul is in the village." Lao Wang said very firmly, Li gritted his teeth, turned around with the spirit lamp, and walked towards his door, calling non-stop: "Mother's baby, mother's good girl...... You're there. ”

The voice was already crying, and the soul lamp in her hand was getting heavier and heavier, and the small wooden hand had already strangled the palm of her hand with blood, just like that, Li still didn't have the slightest intention of giving up, almost with all her life and physical strength, condensed on her right hand, and carried this soul lamp that was unimaginably heavy.

In this world, a mother's kindness to her child is definitely greater than the mountain, because only a mother believes that you are the best, believes that you are the most unique, and only a mother will forgive you no matter what you do wrong. In this world, all people may give up on you, and only Mother will not and will never give up on you.

The sky has brightened slightly, and the lonely ghosts and wild ghosts behind them have gradually dispersed, Li and Lao Wang have returned to their door, the flame of the conjuring lamp in Li's hand has been faintly crumbling, Li is extremely sad, crying and howling: "Mother's baby, where are you, go home quickly...... If you don't come back, don't live ...... mother."

Lao Wang's pressure is also very great, seeing that the soul lamp is about to go out, if he can't find the baby's soul, everything will be wasted, he sighed, I wanted to persuade Li, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Li's Li cry, suddenly, his heart moved, and said to Li: "Sister-in-law, the baby is not named, just call your name, hurry up!" ”

Li Shi heard the anxiety in his mouth, choked up, and shouted loudly: "Li Cuilian's son...... The soul is back, ......" The voice of the cry was loud, and it reverberate, and at this moment, a clear baby cry suddenly came from under the locust tree in his yard.
